Ash in Apex Legends Season 24 gets access to the following abilities in-game:

Predator's Pursuit (Passive Ability)

Ash's brand-new Passive Ability, Predator's Pursuit, provides her access to a dash in the game. This can be activated using the 'jump' key (Spacebar by default). You can use this ability alongside other movement-techs in the game. Furthermore, Ash can also locate all recent death boxes in her tac-map.

You can create a one-way phase tear that allows you to traverse from Point A to Point B through a void. You do not take any damage when using this ability.

Like other characters, Ash also got access to four unique Legend Upgrades in the game. With the debut of Apex Legends Season 24, all her perks have been changed, and as of now, she can get her hands on the following Legend Upgrades in-game:

Level 2 Upgrades

Greedy Snare: Arc Snare remains in play for fifteen seconds and can tether onto multiple enemies in a given time.
Dual Breach: This perk provides Ash with an additional charge for her ultimate ability, Phase Breach.

Level 3 Upgrades

Ghost in the Machine: This upgrade provides you with an additional charge for her Passive ability, the Predator's Pursuit.
Twin Snares: Gain an additional Arc Snare charge.

All the upgrades provided to Ash in Apex Legends are great, and you can fare quite well irrespective of whichever ones you choose. Our favorite perks are the Dual Breach, which will provide you with a massive rotational advantage in the game. Alongside that, we like to use Ghost in the Machine for improved mobility, and better maneuverability in the game.

How to use Ash in Apex Legends

Ash in Apex Legends Season 24 is a meta Legend. The upgrades to her kit make her one of the most powerful characters on the field. Here's a usage guide to help you better understand how the Legend functions in-game:

Predator's Pursuit:

Predator's Pursuit is a brand-new ability offered to Ash in Apex Legends Season 24. It provides her with a dash that recharges every few seconds. This ability provides you with a movement-speed boost, allowing you to access areas you would otherwise be unable to reach.

We believe you should use this ability extensively. You can use it to push enemies and eliminate them when they're taking cover. You can use it to run away from anyone chasing you down. We urge players to learn movement techs in the game. Once you do so, you can chain them to perform unique techs and reach distances that would otherwise be impossible.

Arc Snare

Ash's Arc Snare can be used to trap enemies. You can use it to put a stop to anyone chasing after you, or alternatively snare them when they're out of position in the open field. We recommend you carry grenades and pair them with the Arc Snare for best results.

Phase Breach

Phase Breach is the Ultimate Ability offered to Ash in Apex Legends. This ability allows her to open a one-way portal. We recommend players use it for rotational purposes. You can also use it to quickly get out of dodge, and reposition when you're caught between a rock and a hard place.

That's everything that you need to know about playing Ash in Apex Legends Season 24.
